Sunday and the Curtain Call Crew

Before I show my contribution to Curtain Call Challenge, I have a short story to share. Yesterday was the first day of Spring here in the Northern hemisphere and it snowed here in Iowa! The previous week had been gorgeous, with lots of sun and warm temperatures. All our snow was gone, which was quite surprising considering how much snow we had, and how quick the warm-up came. When my daughter saw the snow SHE CRIED! She wailed, "I'm so sick of snow!" Poor thing! I have to agree! I am SO ready for Spring weather!

So, onto my card. These are the colors for the week....very pretty purse for the inspiration.I'm not too sure I did it justice.....So I MAY take another stab at it this week. In the meantime, I'm anxious to take a look at the rest of the Crew's contributions.

Second Post Today with More Challenges

Time to share another card, my second today! I had to get a birthday card made for my grandmother who is celebrating here 87th birthday this weekend. She is recovering from a hip fracture and has spent the last six weeks in a nursing home healing and getting rehabilitation. She goes home tomorrow, one day before her birthday. I know she's glad to be going home.

So, I took a stab at another two challenges. The first, is Mojo Monday. A wildly popular challenge. The last time I looked there were over 300 participants and the deadline isn't until late Sunday.The next is Arielle's Color Q Challenge. These are some GREAT colors, although the Regal Rose was a little tricky working in. I'm pretty happy with the results.I did use Heartfelt Thanks, Warm Words and Wonderful Favorites to get the job done. Still waiting for my tracking number on my new stuff!Not much going on this weekend. We will visit my grandmother. I plan to go to a tag sale tomorrow (boy, it's going to be cold waiting, if I want to be at the front of line.) Of course I'm hoping to do more stamping or maybe scrapping!
